8 Maintenance8.1 Replacing a drive in a 60-bay unit

The Recovery Guru in SANtricity System Manager monitors the drives in the unit and can notifyyou of an impending drive failure or an actual drive failure. When a drive has failed, its amberAttention LED is on. You can hot-swap a failed drive while the unit is receiving I/O operations.

Before you begin– You have a replacement drive that is supported by Bosch for the controller unit or

expansion unit.– You have an ESD wristband, or you have taken other antistatic precautions.

About this procedureUse this procedure to replace a drive in the following controller units or expansion units:

Type Number of drives Type of drives

60-bay controller unit 60 3.5-inch SAS drives in carriers or 2.5-inch SASdrives in carriers60-bay expansion unit 60

The 60-bay controller unit and the 60-bay expansion unit consist of 5 drive drawers that eachcontain 12 drive slots. Drive drawer 1 is at the top, and drive drawer 5 is at the bottom. Thedrives are numbered from 0 to 11 in each drive drawer.

Rules for handling drivesThe drives are fragile. Improper drive handling is a leading cause of drive failure. Follow theserules to avoid damaging the drives in your unit:– Prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD)

– Keep the drive in the ESD bag until you are ready to install it.– Do not insert a metal tool or knife into the ESD bag. Open the ESD bag by hand or

cut the top off with a pair of scissors.– Keep the ESD bag and any packing materials in case you must return a drive later.

DSA E-Series (E2800 60-bay) Maintenance | en 37


– Always wear an ESD wrist strap grounded to an unpainted surface on your storageenclosure chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, touch an unpainted surface on yourstorage enclosure chassis before handling the drive.

– Handle drives carefully– Always use two hands when removing, installing, or carrying a drive.– Never force a drive into a unit. Use gentle, firm pressure to completely engage the

drive latch.– Place drives on cushioned surfaces, and never stack drives on top of each other.– Do not bump drives against other surfaces.– Before removing a drive, unlatch the handle and wait 30 seconds for the drive to spin

down.– Always use approved packaging when shipping drives.

– Avoid magnetic fields– Keep drives away from magnetic devices. Magnetic fields can destroy all data on the

drive and cause irreparable damage to the drive circuitry.To replace a drive observe the instructions in the following chapters:1. Preparing to replace a drive, page 372. Removing a drive, page 383. Installing a drive, page 394. After replacing a drive, page 40

8.1.1 Preparing to replace a driveBefore replacing a drive, check the Recovery Guru in SANtricity System Manager and completeany prerequisite steps. Then, you can locate the failed drive.To locate the failed drive:1. If the Recovery Guru in SANtricity System Manager has notified you of an impending drive

failure, but the drive has not yet failed, follow the instructions in the Recovery Guru to failthe drive.

2. If needed, use SANtricity System Manager to confirm you have a suitable replacementdrive.– Select Hardware.– Select the failed drive on the unit graphic.– Click the drive to display the context menu, then select View settings.– Confirm that the replacement drive has a capacity equal to or greater than the drive

you are replacing and that it has the features you expect.For example, do not attempt to replace a hard disk drive (HDD) with a solid-statedisk (SSD). Similarly, if you are replacing a secure-capable drive, make sure thereplacement drive is also secure-capable.

3. If needed, use SANtricity System Manager to locate the drive within the unit.– If the unit has a bezel, remove it so you can see the LEDs.– From the drive's context menu, select Turn on locator light.

The drive drawer's amber Attention LED blinks so you can open the correct drivedrawer to identify which drive to replace.Note: The drive drawer Attention LEDs are on the left side in front of each drive, with



an attention icon on the drive handle just behind the LED.

8.3.2 Removing and replacing a fan canisterWhen you remove the failed fan canister, you do not have to turn off power to your storagearray. You must ensure that you remove and replace the fan canister within 30 minutes toprevent the system from overheating.To remove and replace a fan canister:1. Put on antistatic protection.2. Unpack the new fan canister, and place it on a level surface near the unit.

Save all packing material for use when returning the failed fan.3. Press the orange release button to release the fan canister handle.

canister handle until it latches with the orange release button.

8.3.3 After replacing a fan canisterAfter replacing a fan canister, you must confirm that the new fan canister is working correctly.Then, you can gather support data and resume operations.To confirm that the new fan-canister is working correctly:1. Check the amber Attention LED on the new fan canister.

Note: After you have replaced the fan canister, the Attention LED shows a steady ambercolor while the firmware checks that the fan canister was installed correctly. The LEDgoes off after this process is complete.

2. From the Recovery Guru in SANtricity System Manager, select Recheck to ensure theproblem has been resolved.



3. If a failed fan canister is still being reported, repeat the steps in Removing and replacing afan canister on page 4. If the problem continues to persist, contact technical support.

4. Remove the antistatic protection.5. Collect support data for your storage array (see Collecting support data for the storage


6. Return the failed part as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the kit.

8.4 Seven-segment display codesThe following chapters explain the codes that are displayed on the seven-segment-display.– Seven-segment display sequence codes, page 47– Seven-segment display codes when controller turns on, page 48– Seven-segment display use cases, page 48– Seven-segment display lock-down codes, page 50

8.4.1 Seven-segment display sequence codesSeven-segment display sequences enable you to understand errors and operational states ofthe various components in your storage array. Each sequence shows a two-digit categorycode, followed by a two-digit detail code. The category code appears at the start of asequence and the detail code follows the category code with more specific information aboutthe error. After each category code is displayed, the LED goes blank. Then the detail codeappears and disappears, and the entire sequence is repeated. For example, if there is apower-on validation error during startup, you see the following codes displayed on the seven-segment display: SE, followed by Sx, in which SE is the category code and Sx is the detailcode.When the seven-segment display sequence starts, the Diagnostic LED is on (green).The following table includes the seven-segment display sequence codes and descriptions:

Category Category code Detail code

Startup error SE – 88: Power-on default– dF: Power-on diagnostic fault– Sx: Power-on validation error

Operational error OE – Lx: Lock-down codesSee Seven-segment display lock-downcodes.

Operational state OS – OL: Offline– bb: Battery backup (operating on

batteries)– OH: CPU temperature exceeds the

warning level– CF: Component failure

Component failure CF – dx: Processor or cache DIMM– Cx: Cache DIMM– Px: Processor DIMM– Hx: Host interface card– Fx : Flash drive



Category Category code Detail code

– bl: Base controller card

Diagnostic failure dE – Lx: Lock-down codes– See Seven-segment display lock-

down codes.

Category delimiter --Note: The doublehyphen (--) is theseparator betweencategorydetailcode pairs whenmore than one pairexists in thesequence.

End-of-sequence delimiter Blank: The displayturns off at the endof a sequence.

8.4.2 Seven-segment display codes when controller turns onThe following table describes the seven-segment codes that are displayed when the controllerturns on:
